BANGALORE, Nov 12: India fought back to win three out of four matches to lift Ravi Kirloskar Trophy India-Pakistan golf tournament at par-72 Karnataka Golf Association on Saturday.

With India garnering eight points of a possible 12 on final day played on ‘Individual match-play’ format, the hosts emerged victorious by a commendable 14.5-9.5 margin, after they had made a sedate start to the tournament.

The victory helped India avenge defeat they had suffered at hands of Pakistan in Lahore last year.

After Amer Mahmood gave Pakistan a 1-0 lead by creating an upset victory over Asian Games gold medallist Amit Luthra, Ankur Prakash recorded the biggest margin of victory when he thrashed his counterpart Sardar M Khan.—PPI
